As the high-net-worth landscape in Singapore continues to rapidly evolve and grow, so does the demand for highly-skilled and certified financial advisers and practitioners to address complex client and family office challenges.
The High Net Worth (HNW) Certification is designed to help you take advantage of this enormous opportunity that Singapore’s rise in affluence presents, earning recognition as a Certified HNW Adviser.
The programme combines international best-practice and local market case studies in family wealth management to equip you with the knowledge and expertise to implement a step-by-step process for providing quality financial advice to HNW individuals.
Through scenario-based assessments, you will emerge with the knowledge and skills to design appropriate asset protection and wealth management strategies, in addition to a marketing and communication plan to attract, advise and retain these clients.
